Let's think about this for a second. There will inevitably movies and books about the ES affair. Conventional wisdom is tellling us that one of the things that got the Smart family thru this mess was their strong mormon faith. What better opportunity to show that and profit from that. What better way to spread the mormon family friendly attitude. Money will be made. So, yeah, I think the churches hierarchy is looking to profit from this.
Do you think the mormon churches hierarchy was disappointed with the Osmonds?
If that makes me "conspiracy theorist whacko jerk", well, fine.
You have to note that I never said the mormon church had any involvement in having her kidnapped. If I said I believed that, you would have a point.
